[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 01/11] x86: quark: Optimize MRC execution time

Thu Sep 3 13:43:37 CEST 2015


Intel Quark SoC has a low end x86 processor with only 400MHz
frequency. Currently it takes about 15 seconds for U-Boot to
boot to shell and the most time consuming part is with MRC,
which is about 12 seconds. MRC programs lots of registers on
the SoC internal message bus indirectly accessed via pci bus.

To speed up the boot, create an optimized version of pci config
read/write dword routines which directly operate on PCI I/O ports.
These two routines are inlined to provide better performance too.
Now it only takes about 3 seconds to finish MRC, which is really
fast (4 times faster than before).

Changes in v3: None
Changes in v2:
- Drop v1 patch: "x86: quark: Make host bridge (b.d.f=0.0.0) visible",
  as pci_skip_dev() is not needed with the conversion to dm pci.
- Drop v1 patch: "dm: pci: Allow skipping device configuration",
  as full PCIe root port support has been added and there is no need
  to add such feature at this point. We can still add such capability
  to dm pci in the future whenever needed.
- Reorder to put patch "Optimize MRC execution time" as the first one
  in v2, as this patch addressed the slow boot time issue which exists
  before dm pci conversion, although it significantly improves more
  after dm pci conversion :-)
- Move qrk_pci_write_config_dword() and qrk_pci_read_config_dword()
  to arch/x86/cpu/quark/quark.c
- Rewrite this commit's message (ie: not mentioning dm pci conversion)
